This is the first in a series of videos covering the basics of the Forex market. We look at a simple example of exchanging currencies and the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rate, before going on to introduce the Forex Market and how it operates as a global, 24-hour market for trading currencies.

400 x 1.2012 does not equal 408
Loool he had me thinking i was an idiot for a second😂😂😂😂
@Fintogive haha. 408 is not roughly 480, 408 to 480 is a miscalculation by 1 decimal point, not “roughly” as you said.
…but your decimal place mistake apart, your video uploads are wonderful, …educational, entertaining and a must for people like me who are trying to learn this stuff… thanks bro
@Fintogive Please tell me that was a joke
You have to divide it not multiply that’s why your not getting it
400*1.2012 = 480.48 not 408
Good spot, David. Thank you for pointing this out, indeed the correct answer is 480.48.
@Trading 212 sorry for my pervious comment, here’s my answer
Nice video, suggest laverege for the next subject
Thanks
Forex is so scary haha! The marijuana markets are so lucrative right now though 😍
How so
Hi, I’m new. Could you make a video to explain the android app For market, Limit, stop, stop limit and why you would use them. Any video seem to be for the desktop version and not the app, desktop seems more complicated. Could you explain the app version, laymen’s terms! And then may be do a comparison. Cheers.
Hi Peter, thank you for the suggestion, we’ll be sure to consider it. The main reason we do tutorials on the web app is because the functionalities are essentially the same in principle.
You are the first person that i see who explain forex with the more simple words… Congrats you win a subscriber!
Hey William, great to hear that you like our tutorials! Happy to have you with us and stay tuned for more.
Why am I seeing this type of comment in every forex trading vudeo
Can you please give a video on Trading Journal
How are you supposed to trade on forex when you have barely any money?
Get a job, find a way to save and make money, not excuses.
I’ve tried Forex trading in the past but i end up losing all my money. What am i doing wrong?
Risk management
Selling to early? I’m no expert or any experience but that’s my guess tho.
When you start investing its always scary until you start making your money.. I am very happy now.. The profits are really good
How much good?
How much profit
How happy?
When and how?
Very true words my guy
£1=1.2012
€1=1.0049 which means that £1.0049=€1
where is my boy david jones
I’m here mate
give me a minimum amount for a stater like me here in kenya and give me more examples and direction pliz
I’m curious as to why all discussions of Forex trading seem inevitably to tie it to leverage and even high leverage. I’ve traded stocks and options and have always had a firm rule to never, ever trade on margin. I always keep enough $ in my account to cover a worst case scenario – and frankly I don’t need much because I only short options (never stocks) and use defined-risk strategies when I do. But now I’m looking at dabbling in Forex but haven’t yet found a source that doesn’t link it to leverage, even as it advises to use “minimum” levels of leverage – often defined as up to 10X!
this is my new favorite channel.
I don’t get it 😐
@212 ..do u have any videos for bigginers ..
I want to start trading on iq options but i want to know if u have videos fot biginners so i can learn more
every calculations he does i gat try it out on my own to be sure. Great tuts tho.
I know fuck all about this which is why I’m watching your basics video, but I’m pretty sure that £400 x €1.2012 is closer to €480 that €408.
…but your decimal place mistake apart (400 x 1.20 is 480), …your video uploads are wonderful, …educational, entertaining and gold in fact…. a must for people like me who are trying to learn this stuff… thanks bro
Most financial experts and advisory consider foreign market to be a healthy addition to an investor’s portfolio.
that was a good introduction. I was totally blank before this. This was an eye-opener for me. lets go
U only showed 1 currency pairs
I’m trying to become great at the Foreign Exchange Market. I’m just starting and would love some insight!
Also Forex seems better than stocks is this agreed on
Good video only your numbers are wrong
Not very reassuring when the guy doing the training on Forex markets can’t add up…
480 lol, simple math…
How would you describe this currency trade in terms of ‘Long and/or Short?
Awesome video. great content !! What is the key to success in forex / stock trading?
thanks for putting it in laymans terms…
In what order should I watch these videos? They don’t seem to go in series when the next one starts
I’d recommend you to go the app as you can find there the videos in order
Please guys change the video with correct math
Really informative Thanks, please also make a video if someone what’s to pursue his career in online trading as a trader or as in sales or as in IT division or whatever different positions are available to pursue a career in this sector please explain each
For anyone who is wondering how they can watch the videos in order; if you go to the app you’ll find everything in order and into different categories, making it much easier for you to find what you’re looking for and learn.
good info and nice work dear
This was helpful. Saw some other videos and felt lost but this helped. Looking forward to the others in the series.
Great explanation but I still don’t understand why not just change your currency from a bank or an airport that way when a currency goes down or up you won’t lose as you can just wait till its in your favour
That went completely over my head. I’m just getting into all of this. In dummy terms, what exactly do you mean by “leverage”?
Wow. You made it very simple to understand! Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to understand from so many other ppl but you’ve broken it down so well… Subscribed.. I look forward to viewing more of your videos and I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone who’s still confused about trading. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is the most explicit video on FX market I have ever seen..I am very interested in going into Forexy..thank you for the video
Is there a minimum account value on the major currency pairs?
I’m eager to learn but I’m so confused
can you make videos on forex risk management
trading right now will be at the of every wise individual’s list. In 2years you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
Your facial expressions are killing me lmao, but nice video also
There is a bit of an error between buying more expensive than selling but making a gain.. should be a loss. Great content though, very educational!
Hello great videos do you have academy or do you have students
I was looking for this kind of explanation in simple terms..yes you got one more subscriber.
Great summary! Onto number 2!
🤝
Great video! I’m a new subscriber!
oh oh 1 2
very clear n helpful. thank uuuu
subscribed, makes sense. thanks 🙂
Is there a particular order to watch these videos? Date uploaded does not seem to match content
Sorry ! 400 x1.2012=480.48 Euros and not 408 Euros
Great intro video to the Forex market.
How in the world does 400 * 1.2012 equals 408 ??
Should this be educational?
Definitely a bit confused, £400 × 1.2012 = 489.48 but you said it equals £408, which I’m sure you’re right or you wouldn’t have posted the video, but how do you come to that number? I’m basically doing this 400 × 1.2012 =480.48 is that not correct?
This is a highly informative video with digestable information that caters to the beginner. Thank you so very much !
I now understand it because of you thank you very much I will keep on watching your videos to learn more thanks
We’re glad you found the videos useful, Phindile! Are there any topics you would like us to cover next?
I love how you explained Forest for beginnings for a simple way that we that are learning from the beginning can understand and I would love to see more of your videos sir
